Baron Barracuda Posted June 27, 2016 #51 Share Posted June 27, 2016 dw isn't a burger fan, but absolutely loves those mast burgers with all the fixins. Wish they would add a couple of items to the menu though. Really used to enjoy the grilled chicken breast on Princess. Sausage & peppers would also be nice.

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted June 27, 2016 #52 Share Posted June 27, 2016 My Wife is Celiac, and as of last Nov, no GF buns. She did have her's 'open face' The GF pizza is outstanding. Thanks. I'm fine with protein style, so no problem there. And if no dedicated fryer for the fries, all the better for my waistline! [emoji23] Good to know about the pizza too!

Iamthesea Posted June 27, 2016 #53 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I am not sure I would use the adjective "great" to describe those burgers. Nor would I describe the beef as "think and juicy". But they are quite tasty. haha...I was comparing to the thin patties that are stuck together in the freezer section at Sam's Club. The type that your church or job serves at the annual cookout. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancruz Posted June 27, 2016 #54 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Love Mast Grill's HB's & fries! Buns are too much. We use lettuce and fixings and, use a fork. If we want to eat on the balcony, I put all on one plate. Still warmer than room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Crucero Posted June 27, 2016 #55 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Gimme one of them MG burgers with double patty on a bun and all the fixin's (I bring my own bread (focaccia) and cheese from the buffet). Then gimme a double order of fries with them grilled onions on top and slathered with steak sauce! I've never had a better burger on any of the four cruise lines we have tried! If that beef was any fresher, it would still be "mooing" and swimming in the ocean. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare keesar Posted June 28, 2016 #57 Share Posted June 28, 2016 So is that fresh beef like the latest version of fresh squeezed OJ? :rolleyes: When I was relaxing by the pool, I saw someone carting in two boxes of fresh frozen items for the grill. Frozen hockey pucks (burgers) and frozen hot dogs. The O.J. that was served for breakfast reminded me that that famous drink of astronauts. Tang.

wallie5446 Posted June 28, 2016 #58 Share Posted June 28, 2016 At the end of the day, for what we "DONT PAY" :D the mast Grill burger is hard to beat. BUT, the new GastroBar burger which has an additional cost is the best burger we have had on any ship in 25 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayoldschool Posted June 29, 2016 #59 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Who remembers other things at the Mast Grill? I miss the nacho chips and the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted June 29, 2016 #60 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Never eaten there, have at Johnny Rocket's, but not impressed much there either, In fact don't eat hamburgers on a cruise...I just don't cruise to eat something I can have a hundred different ways and more on Sunday at home.:rolleyes: And at the amount of time on the grill I prefer. I loved the Porch though, but hear they've changed it from the paninis, salads and soup we liked there.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopro63 Posted June 29, 2016 #61 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) If you compare the Burger to Ocean Café, it is a total turn off. I rather go for the Pizza a lot healthier of asked? Edited June 29, 2016 by gopro63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseheads4ever Posted June 30, 2016 #64 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Boy on my last cruise I know I had more than one per cruise. Maybe 3 but that was a 9 nighter. No wonder I put on weight. Burgers were excellent along with everything else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted June 30, 2016 #65 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Who remembers other things at the Mast Grill? I miss the nacho chips and the wings.

shot2bits Posted June 30, 2016 #67 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Start with a greasy burger and add bacon, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, sauerkraut, fresh tomatoes, pickles and lettuce. Then come the condiments on a grilled roll. Add some fries with ketchup, vinegar and salt. Then you order your favorite beverage from the bar. This combo cannot be beat! Then you suffer a heart attack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunpsyche Posted July 1, 2016 #68 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks for that. Maybe we need to be more insistent on our next trip to ensure the veggie burger remains veggie. Out of interest is it a vegetable based burger, bean type or soya based? Always wanting to find more options for the OH who doesn't get the same dining experience as I do, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The burger I had on the Eclipse this past December was soy based and quite tasty, as these things go. It did require a bit of a wait, at least 15 minutes. I'll be on the Equinox in November and will be happy to update on their veggie burgers!

morbihan Posted July 1, 2016 #70 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I tried a burger a couple of cruises ago. It wasn't a success. For one thing it was barely warm (I have noted what you say). Then I went back inside to my husband and dropped half my chips juggling to rub the sanitizer into my hands:D However, I had one of the best burgers ever one lunchtime in the MDR the last cruise on Silhouette.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They were, at least for the period of time we were there and can vouch for! We didn't see any cross contamination issues. I feel fairly confident they are mindful of concerns and try to use best practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted July 2, 2016 #72 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Everyday I'd pass by at lunch and the same crowds people chowing on burgers and hot dogs....these people love this place.Has it developed a cult following? Had the cheeseburger and was delicious by the way. Solstice Mast Grill (6/3 sailing). The burgers & hot dogs are purchased from Sysco/US Foods. We use them on some of our cook outs. They are good, but the detail is in cooking them right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted July 2, 2016 #73 Share Posted July 2, 2016 One of the keys is going back in to the buffet and getting the steak cut fries, and finding gravy at one of the carving stations. Shhh, don't tell anyone. Add the Cheese Curds & we'll have Poutine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loujul Posted July 2, 2016 #74 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Love the burgers and fries with that delicious sauce. Our favorite place for lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaB Posted July 2, 2016 #75 Share Posted July 2, 2016 For those who miss the chips and cheese, go inside to the Mexican food area of the buffet. I top my burger (bun-less) with guacamole. As I said in my earlier post, we do love the MG as a great contrast. But since Luminae, the best burger on the ship is there. With the brioche bun. Which I also ask to be left off. As good as it is, carbs. I've never put American cheese (food) on my burger or anything else. Fresh sliced sharp cheddar or something else. Ever try brie on a burger? Or Havarti - with some thinly sliced granny smith apple? Mmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
